Diploma Supplements

If you registered on a programme of study at the University after autumn 2004 and have since received an award, you should have received a 'diploma supplement'. Your diploma supplement contains your transcript together with contextual information about your programme and the UK Higher Education system, in a standard format which is shared across the EU.

Diploma supplements are managed by the Examinations Office. If you would like another copy or replacement of your Diploma Supplement, you can order this on their online store. If you require further information on Diploma Supplements, please visit the Examinations webpage.

Certified copies

If you need certified copies of your certificate, please email graduation@reading.ac.uk with your request. Please specify how many copies you require and provide your preferred postal address. You must include a scanned copy of your original certificate.

Apostille

In some cases you may need to have documents ‘legalised’ by asking the UK government to confirm that a UK public official’s signature, seal or stamp on the document is genuine. Such a certification is called an apostille (internationally) or notorisation (domestically). This can be done online via the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Please contact us if you've not received your certificate six months after graduating. Please note that if you have not received your certificate and have not been in contact with us within two years of your graduation date, a replacement certificate charge will be applied.

All international certificates are sent via Royal Mail international recorded delivery. If students would like certificates to be sent via courier, they are welcome to organise this themselves. Please contact graduation@reading.ac.uk for further information.
